Wild at Heart collection

XOXO | Bohemian Dream and Wild At Heart Collections | Tarrah McLean

Hi creative friends!

It’s Tarrah back with you today, as Valentine’s Day is fast approaching I decided to create a Iove themed layout using both the Bohemian Dream collection and the Wild At Heart collection. I love how these two gorgeous collections combine together!

I cut out the XO twice from the Colour Me Happy cut file set using white cardstock. Once cut, I backed it with the ‘B’ side of the Fussy Cuts paper from the Wild at Heart collection. I placed some craft foam under the cut file and adhered it to a 6.5′ x 12′ piece of the ‘B’ side of the Abundant paper from the Bohemian Dream collection. I then adhered the whole piece to the Gypsy Heart paper that I chose for my background, this piece is also from the Bohemian Dream collection.

My photo is a fairly recent one of myself and my hubby chilling out on some deck chairs, its not often that he will get in photos with me so when I can a snap some selfies! Under the photo, I layered a piece from the Beautiful Mess paper and one of the die-cut frames from the Wild At Heart ephemera pack. I then tucked my photo and layers into the left side of the bottom XO and also having the top ‘X’ overlap onto the photo.

On the top ‘O’ I added the round purple sticker from the Bohemian Dream Accessory sticker sheet and also added one of the Wild At Heart flairs to the centre of the sticker. On the other ‘O’ I added one of the die-cuts from the Bohemian Dream ephemera pack. To the right of the top ‘XO’ I added one of the tags and arrows from the Wild at Heart ephemera pack. Lastly, I added some of the wood veneer hearts also from Wild At Heart and some of the white and black phrase stickers from the Accessory sticker sheet.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today! I do hope you can take some inspiration from my layout today.

Happy creating!

2019 Favourites | Mandy Melville

Hey friends!

Well, can you believe that we are fast approaching the end of 2019?! Does anyone else feel like this year disappeared in a blur? To finish the year off, our design team will each be sharing their favourite projects that they created during the year. I always find it so hard to narrow down to just a few, because so many memories have been documented on my layouts throughout the year, BUT I think these three layouts would definitely have to be amongst some of my faves!

The first layout I’m sharing was created using the super gorgeous Happiness collection, along with the coordinating cut files designed by Cut to You! The colours and the florals in this collection are sooo pretty, and the cardstock titles were definitely a fantastic addition too! It was perfect for documenting a photo of my three kiddies taken on Easter morning!

 

The next layout I’m sharing was created with the beautiful Wild at Heart collection. This collection is still one of my favourites, with its gorgeous rich colours, and I think it worked perfecty with this photo of my eldest daughter and I, taken on Mother’s Day this year. You probably know by now that I’m a huge fan of fussy cutting, and the floral patterned papers in this collection are perfect for this! For more details about this layout go take a look at the full blog post here.

And for my last layout, I’m sharing one that I created using the most recent Cocoa Vanilla collection, Unforgettable. One thing I love about this collection is that there are lots of different colour combinations, and for this layout I decided to focus on the peach and mint colours, along with that beautiful woodgrain patterned paper. I documented a photo of my youngest daughter and I, taken on one of our ‘Mummy and Ella’ days, and again I couldn’t resist fussy cutting some gorgeous florals to embellish my layout. You can check out the full blog post here.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy Christmas and New Year! And I’d also like to say a very big thank you for all of your encouragement and support that you’ve shown me over the year in the way of comments and likes on my projects. I’ll be back here in January to share some more inspiration with you. Until then, take care.

Love You | Midnight Collection | Zoe Pearn

Hi everyone, it’s Sue here today popping in with a Throwback Thursday share with a difference. Today I am sharing a layout on behalf our beautiful boss lady, Zoe. Unfortunately Zoe doesn’t get to create as often as she would like to (because she is so busy keeping the Cocoa Vanilla wheels turning) but when she does get a chance to put a page together, her work is always stunning.

The layout I am sharing today was created by Zoe using the ‘Midnight’ collection, which she used to document a gorgeous photo from her and her hubby Marty’s wedding day.

The ‘Midnight’ collection is perfect for wedding photos as it features a soft colour palette; delicate florals; and lots of sweet sentiments. Zoe used the white-washed wood grain print of the Shine Bright paper as the base for her page, then added lots of luscious layers on top using a variety of other papers from the range.

For her page title she used the LOVE YOU words from the ‘Wild at Heart’ collection chipboard accent stickers (the chipboard stickers have now sold out, but you will find most items from the range are still available). She also used a few small chipboard heart stickers from the same sheet, but you could easily substitute die cut ephemera pieces adhered with foam tape to achieve the same effect.

Zoe is a master at creating layered embellishment clusters. Here you can see how she stacked a pair of sweet mason jars and a variety of floral pieces all from the ‘Midnight’ die cut ephemera pack alongside her photo. She used foam tape between the layers to help separate them and create dimension – so gorgeous!

If you missed purchasing the ‘Midnight’ collection, or perhaps your stash needs a top-up, you can find it in the Cocoa Vanilla Studio online store HERE

And thank you Zoe for allowing me to share your page today (I know I am not the only one who is a big fan of your work!) X

Beautiful You | Wild at Heart | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone,

Mandy here with you today to share a layout using the gorgeous Wild at Heart collection. I’ve been wanting to scrapbook this photo of Abi and I taken on Mother’s Day, but until now haven’t been able to find the right collection. I could have converted it to black and whie, but I really like it in colour, and then I remembered the beautiful deep pinks and blues in the Wild at Heart collection and I knew that it would be perfect! I love pulling out an older collection that I haven’t used in awhile and giving it some more love!

I started my layout off by trimming down a four inch wide strip of the reverse side of the Patchwork patterned paper and adhering it towards the top of the page. This paper provided a nice pop of that gorgeous pink colour, but was not too busy so as to overpower the other elements on the page. I then positioned my photo in the centre, overlapping the bottom edge of the patterned paper.

Next I got to work fussy cutting some of the stunning floral clusters out of the Luscious patterned paper, and I tucked them under either side of the photo. I think the florals frame the photo beautifully!

I created a small cluster in the top right hand corner of the layout using another smaller fussy cut floral piece and a circular die cut from the collection. I adhered the die cut with foam tape for added dimension.

For my title, I combined two of the lovely chipboard stickers to create the phrase ‘Beautiful You’. To the left of the title I created a small cluster to balance out the one in the top right. This one includes a label sticker, a chipboard sticker, and a flair button.

I finished the layout off with a few enamel dots and a couple of little word stickers.

Thanks so much for joining me here today. I hope that you enjoyed taking a look at my layout, and maybe you’ve been inspired to pull out an older collection to use on your next project as well. I’ll be back later in the month to share a project using the brand new Unforgettable collection!
